Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) confirmed today that the assault weapons ban she tried to push through the Senate will not be included in the gun control legislation to be voted on next month, according to an Associated Press story.

Feinstein said she was told of the decision to remove the ban from the bill by Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)

Despite initially being excluded from the overall gun control bill, Feinstein's legislation, which called for a ban on assault weapons as well as magazines that could hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, could still be attached as an amendment to the bill, according to the story.

Said Feinstein of her efforts to get the ban passed, “I tried my best. My best I
guess wasn’t good enough," Feinstein said.
